Aren't they just about Colorado's state bird?
Sure were a bunch of them there when I lived in Colorado.

No, but they are numerous out here. I've had them try to pick up shiny things during BBQs and they've tried to dismantle some wind chimes that had "crystals" on them.

They are the fastest- growing avian species in the UK. We're over-run with them here in Hampshire.
